Monster March

This year is Kathryn's first Halloween.  Halloween night is looking like it may be a dud because of the impending hurricane. So...luckily the town put on the Monster March.  We arrived at Davis Park (about a mile from our house) at noon and we built a scarecrow.  Then, around 1:30, all the kids (and parents) lined up and marched down Main Street.  All the shops were handing out candy.  It was a lot of fun and I'm glad Kathryn got to go trick or treating, especially since she might not be able to on Wednesday night.  We met my friend Leigh and her husband Greg and daughter Sidney  there.  It was a beautiful day.  The park was covered in vibrant orange and yellow leaves and it looked exactly what one would picture Halloween to look like in New England. It was something out of a postcard and such a small town thing to do.  It was great.  We can't wait to do it again next year when she's a little more interested. She was great today, but seemed rather indifferent about the whole thing.  She looked absolutely adorable in her octopus outfit though and so many people complemented her. I hope she can wear it again on Halloween night.  Stay away Sandy!

The finished product.  Yes, our scarecrow has a very skinny waist.

We ran into Kathryn's buddy, Cogan, from daycare.

How'd an octopus get in the leaves?

I love the Baptist Church on Main Street.

More candy!
